On a more serious note - I'm actually against having skill checks in intimate moments; these should be scenes and sequences that you have the freedom to rp and guide as you wish to, as a player, not beholden to the fickle dice.
Haha, well, and I am, actually quite serious.
For one it would bring love scene closer to the rest of the game tone wise. And the other - skill checks are a primary non-combat mechanic, and D&D isn’t about what what you as a player want to do, it’s what you character can do. Mix of both would probably be the best solution. Yeah, it would be a bit ridiculous but so is having them in a first place. Surely, completely failing the love encounter would be more memorable than what we have now…. And people so want the “realismâ€, no?
Edit. Oh gosh, see me loosing any hope that the game will be any decent above
